问题     Remember books? They were those pieces of paper with words printed on them【C1】________in between two, sometimes,【C2】________covers. People bought them, and people borrowed them, but,【C3】________people used to read them. And then came screens. Six years into the【C4】________rise of mobile, half of American adults own a smartphone; over a third owns a tablet.
    Now, I’m joking about the end of books, but it’s easy and tempting to【C5】________that screens will continue their【C6】________on words and paper-bound books will be at the【C7】________of vanishing. But if you take a hard look at the data, it’s not the end of print. Not by a long shot.
    【C8】________, there hasn’t been a more【C9】________technology for capturing the hopes and the fears of new parents than the tablet. Touchscreens are so easy to【C10】________ that babies can use them and learn at younger ages than we thought possible—or babies can use them and use them and use them and lose out on other skills. We just don’t know what this does【C11】________young brains. All we know is we’re【C12】________a generation that sometimes finds magazines more【C13】________than iPads.
    Parents, of course, can’t not know. Or, if they really can’t, then they don’t want to take any【C14】________. And that’s why it’s not at all【C15】________that the vast, vast【C16】________of parents prefer reading printed books to their young children. Pew Research found that 94 percent of parents think it’s important to read print books to their children.
    Print【C17】________isn’t going away soon.【C18】________more people prefer e-readers, some would still rather read print. Books will become "luxuries". But, of course, the real test will come in the next few years when we see what kids who have been using tablets since before they could walk prefer to read.
    Print is in a long, slow【C19】________that feels like a death spiral, but isn’t quite so. For now, at least, the end of print is a long way off, even if kids these days can’t【C20】________how to turn the page.
【C8】
选项 A、Still
B、Therefore
C、Moreover
D、Then
答案A
解析 前面说到这不是纸质书的末路，后半句提到平板电脑对新手父母而言是项既爱又怕 (capturing the hopes and the fears)的技术。说明尽管纸质书没有遭遇末路，但触屏也有让人担心的一面，两者存在转折关系，用A项Still意为“尽管如此；但是”。B项Therefore意为“因此”，表示结果。C项Moreover意为“而且”，表示递进。D项Then意为“然后”，表示时间顺序。这三项均不包含转折关系。
